April 24 (UPI) — Authorities in North Carolina and Texas have arrested two teenagers accused of conspiring to attack a Houston synagogue, according to police and court documents.
The two suspects were separately arrested: 18-year-old Angelina Han Hicks of Lexington, N.C., on Wednesday and an unnamed 16-year-old in Texas’ Harris County on Thursday, according to authorities.
Detectives with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and FBI agents detained Hicks at her Lexington, N.C., home after the FBI Charlotte Field Office received information that the 18-year-old was planning violence targeting Jews.
The FBI Charlotte Field Office said the tip was received Tuesday evening.
